At Long Last, Have We No Shame? Vote for Democrats Tuesday!

Normally, Saturday afternoons are reserved for the never-ending, wasteful clusterf*ck that is war profiteering in Iraq. But with Tuesday's historic midterm elections on the horizon, I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge its importance.

One that will ultimately shape this nation for, certainly, the next several years, but quite possibly for the next few decades.

With voters going to the polls in less than 72 hours, I wanted to bring up a little bit of history.

In the early days of the Cold War, Senator Joe McCarthy (R-Wisconsin) infamously alleged that State Department officials in the administration of President Harry S. Truman were passing state secrets to communists.

However, President Bush and his cronies in the "Do Nothing" Congress of our time, have gone further. Much further.

Irresponsible tax cuts, while simultaneously waging two wars. Coupled with out-of-control spending, stagnating wages, and a concentration of an immense proportion of America's wealth among a select few.

A national debt that has increased so much that the Congress had to raise the debt limit five times. That's not fiscal responsibility. Maxing out the national credit card and asking for a higher credit limit is completely antithetical to the idea of "fiscal responsibility."
